The transformation of Roman Britain

[authun]

Well, under the weight of Gaelic, Norse and Germanic influences, the Brythonic population of Northern England/Southern Scotland probably lost their language in the high middle ages

Hi Agraes,

Something oft overlooked here is the very low population density. Even today, places such as Westmorland, the Westmoringas or dwellers of the western moors are very sparsely populated. At the time it fell under Northumbrian control it could have hardly been more than a few settlements of around a dozen people or so with perhaps just one market.
